A case of road rage that escalated into a shooting has landed a Lauderdale Lakes man in jail, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.

Walter Tilley, 32, was driving his girlfriend’s black Toyota Corolla southbound on North State Road 7 in Lauderdale Lakes about 2:25 p.m., Tuesday when he started honking and driving erratically around a white Jeep, according to the arrest report.

Jeep driver Jason Switek heard a gunshot then followed the Toyota to get the license plate number, the report stated.

The Toyota pulled off the road at Northwest 37th Street, where the driver got out and pointed a black handgun at the Jeep. Switek swerved and another shot was fired, investigators said.

Detectives said they tracked the license plate to Tilley’s girlfriend who said he had borrowed her car at about the time of the shooting.

During questioning, she told detectives Tilley kept a handgun in her kitchen drawer until she told him to get rid of it. She also said he had road rage outbursts in the past, the report stated.

When investigators questioned Tilley he admitted to driving the Toyota but denied being involved in a road rage incident, firing shots, or owning a gun, they said.

Tilley did admit to selling a small black Ruger 9mm handgun to an unknown man in a park in Miami for cash after his girlfriend told him to remove it from her home, detectives said.

Tilley is facing charges that include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm in public, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon because of a burglary conviction in 2014. Bond was set at $21,001, court records show.
